Following the lovely news back in April that they are now engaged, Winter Love Island winners Sanam Harrinanan and Kai Fagan have now shared even more exciting news, welcoming a new arrival!

Taking to Instagram to introduce their adorable new fur baby, Kai and Sanam revealed they are now proud dog parents to a Cockapoo puppy called Tinker Bell Fagan. They wrote alongside the cute pics: 'We’re excited to announce our family recently got a little bit bigger❤️ Welcome little Tinker Bell Fagan 🐶'. (sic)

Fans and friends of the couple were quick to comment on the post, with Sanam more than willing to answer questions.

When a fan asked what will happen to the pooch when they are away working, she replied: 'Awh thank you! she’s got two lovely grandmas who will fight to look after her when we’re away for work😂 🥰'.

When Love Island co-star Ron Hall wrote: 'Name is so questionable tho 😂', Sanam commented back: '😂😂 she’s soft& small like a little fairy!! 🧚'. (sic)

Another fan wrote: 'O my goodness! The most precious little addition. Enjoy every minute becoming pawrents', wit another writing: 'She’s gorgeous cookerpoos are a lovely breed so loving'. (sic)

The new arrival comes just months after Kai proposed to Sanam as the pair enjoyed a gondola ride.

Sharing the news with fans, Kai wrote: 'Introducing the next Mrs Fagan ❤️💍

'Beautiful, Caring, Loving and Smart are just some of the words that describe you. I love loving you, I love you and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you ❤️'. (sic)

In recent days, 26-year-old Sanam has also revealed the exciting news that she's returning to her day job as a social worker.

In a video on social media, Sanam said: "I've just come on here to share some really exciting and happy news. Today, I have finally completed my new qualified year as a social worker, which is amazing."

"I had to leave my job when I went into Love Island, and I've always had a passion for what I did and the fact that I left it didn't sit well with me. I'm so glad to be back in my profession, I love what I do.

"But long story short, I've finally completed my ASYE (newly qualified) year as a social worker. Leaving work to jump into a new experience blessed me with a fiancé and a new life but I felt like I was missing a part of my career.

"Going back to complete this is the best thing I did, especially as I worked so hard for it. I finally have my purpose back again in life, as well as being able to live the best of both worlds.

"So happy to be where I am today in life."

Check out which other Love Island stars returned to their day jobs:

Dr Alex George

Dr Alex George is probably now best known for being the country's Mental Health Ambassador. He starred on Love Island in 2018, taking a sabbatical from his job as an A&E doctor to try and find love. He returned to his old job just weeks after returning from the villa and has gone on to use his platform for good ever since.

Greg O'Shea

Love Island 2019 winner Greg O'Shea, who won the show alongside Amber Gill, was a law student and a rugby player before he became a reality star. In 2020, he returned to his sport and competed in the Tokyo Olympics but announced he was retiring from the sport after the games.

Anna Vakili

Anna left her job as a pharmacist to appear on Love Island in 2019. After the show, Anna joined her co-stars and explored her career as an influencer. However, in 2020, she decided to return to her medical background during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dr Priya Gopaldas

Priya entered the Love Island villa as a bombshell in the 2021 series and stood out in her entry VT because she was a 5th year medical student. Since leaving the show, Priya has championed the NHS and didn't think twice about continuing her journey to becoming a doctor. In March 2023, she shared the wonderful news that she passed her finals and is now officially a Doctor!

Amber Davies

Love island 2017 winner Amber was studying musical theatre before she entered the villa. Instead of becoming a full time reality star, Amber landed her dream West End role in 9 to 5: The Musical in 2019. In 2022, she's starred in a lead role in Bring It On, a musical adaptation of the 2000 teen film.

Faye Winter

Love Island 2021 star Faye Winter hasn't been out of the villa very long, but she has already revealed plans to go back to her job as a lettings manager by launching her own property company.

Georgia Townend

Georgia may have only been in the Love Island villa for less than 72 hours, but she's been making a HILARIOUS impact on social media ever since. Aside from her hilarious posts and Tik Toks, Georgia has also returned to her old marketing role at LIDL Head Office.

Paige Thorne

Paige won our hearts as she appeared in the 2022 series of Love Island, introducing herself as a Paramedic from Swansea. In September 2022, just months after finishing in fifth place on Love Island, Paige took to her Instagram to show off her uniform as she prepared to return to being a Paramedic!


However, although Paige was all set to return, she recently revealed she wasn't allowed back due to posting pictures in her bikini online.

Coco Lodge

2022 Casa Amor bombshell Coco Lodge certainly made an impact when she appeared on the show. Shortly after leaving the island, Coco returned to her former job of selling shots inside clubs. Featuring in the Channel 4 documentary Untold: Life After Love Island, Coco revealed how due to brand deal money taking a while to come in, she needed to return to being a shot-girl to pay rent.

Jacques O'Neill

After having his contract terminated so he could take part in Love Island 2022, Islander Jacques O'Neill re-signed for the professional rugby club in May 2023.

Just weeks after leaving the Love Island: All Stars villa as a winner alongside Molly Smith, Tom Clare announced he'd re-signed for football club Macclesfield FC. Sharing the news on Instagram, Tom told fans: 'Back home ⚽️💙'.

Sanam Harrinanan

After winning Winter Love Island in 2023, social worker Sanam Harrinanan announced in August 2024 that she was heading back to her day job, revealing she's completed her new qualified year as a social worker.

Sanam's Love Island fiancé Kai Fagan also announced he'd returned to his day job as a PE Teacher in September 2024. He told fans on Instagram: 'First, week back working in Education 📚👨🏽‍🏫 I've always said I'd return and after the whirlwind of the last few years now is the perfect time🙌🏾

'I was offered a role to work part-time teaching Sports and I jumped at the opportunity. This allows me to continue to do everything I'm currently doing but also provides me with the opportunity to follow my passion and continue my career in education.

'I've always believed that in life you should aim to make a positive impact on others. This is why I pursued my career, so I can be impactful in education and help young people to fulfil their potential, whilst achieving their dreams.
